Yikes!!!

The gear legs should be real snug in the attach brackets.  The bolt should be safety wired as well.  Does it look like it has been wiggling for a while? Are the holes elongated at all?   I have not seen the shim kit, but from what I have read, it is thin shims to really snug up the leg in the bracket, not to take up 3/16” of play.

Have any pics to post??

Good luck.  Maybe Ron will chime in with some ideas.

If you have removable fairings for the main gear attach points, you can use a standard floor jack or AC jack at the gear attach point.  Just use a piece of wood or something solid for support.

All,

 

Got a pretty shimmy tonight, enough to loosen the front wheel fairings screws.  Also while pushing her back into the hangar I could hear a rubbing sound on the left main wheel, but only pulling forward; not backing.  So now its time to jack up the main gear and see whats going on.

 

I tried to search the archives to see how best to support the wings.  No luck.

 

I am going to purchase a floor jack and lift the main gear one at a time using the Lancair adapter.  Then put a saw horse with carpet and foam to hold the wing while I check the main gear for play in the legs.  I suspect I may need shims or be having wheel bearing problems.  

 

I remember reading but I don’t recall where to put the support under the wing.  Unfortunately, I don’t have jackpoints.

 

Any advice?  Thank you

 

George
